A. The Bobo doll experiment was conducted by Albert Bandura in 1961 and studied patterns of behaviour associated with aggression. Additional studies of this type were conducted by Bandura in 1963 and 1965. A Bobo doll is an inflatable toy that is approximately the same size as a prepubescent child. This experiment is important to psychology because it was a precedent that sparked many more studies about the effects of viewing violence on children.

A. What exactly are you looking for, how he came up with the theory? What is the name of the theory? Edit: Well, I don't see any mention of another person helping him. Did you mention the experiment with the inflatable doll? Where the children modeled the agression they saw? This website will help you a lot. Basically, he showed some children a video of adults hitting an inflatable doll that keeps bouncing up. When he put the children in a room with the doll, they did what they had seen. Hope this helped, ttyl

A. definitely e. Cognition, motivation, and affect are all aspects of self-efficacy, according to Bandura. You promote change (and a personal sense of well-being) by surveying your surroundings, believing that you can achieve change (perceived self-efficacy), and then acting on those beliefs and evaluations.
